Off to the sleep lab tomorrow yay, so here's a last squirt of feminist stuff to keep you going until I emerge from the pit of bewilderment.

Ta to thegameiam for Where Palin Really Stands on Sex Education: turns out she clarified (somewhat) her stance an interview, describing herself as "pro-contraception". So that's one less thing to worry about.

OTOH, McCain voted against Biden Law Requiring Free Rape Exams. (Ta browneyedgirl65.)

From the New York Times, Repairing the Damage, Before Roe: a gynaecologist in his eighties gives a horrifying glimpse of the days before abortion was legal.

In Australia, Wife-beaters face tougher treatment: the skinny is that some of the group therapy, er, groups, lack professional facilitators, and there are no program standards, so the NSW guvmint hopes to rectify this.

Missed a spot:

Victoria's abortion reform bill passed the lower house, but may have more trouble in the upper house.

Federally, MPs will be allowed a conscience vote on removing Medicare funding for late term abortions.

I keep finding more about this:
New Evidence: Palin Had Direct Role In Charging Rape Victims For Exams (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jacob-alperinsheriff/sarah-palin-instituted-ra_b_125833.html).

Meh.

Hope the sleep lab is productive!
